The Big Ten is currently making ~$22 million per year per school. By the time 2016 rolls around, this could be in the area of ~$30 million. This means that adding UConn and Rutgers is going to have to add at least $44 million total, or likely in the $60 million area, just for the Big Ten to break even. Not a chance.
 
From everything I've heard from people in the know (which take with a grain of salt), is that the Big Ten looked at about 6 schools (which should be no mystery), and decided that adding Nebraska as a national "brand" was better than trying to expand into the NY market with schools that likely couldn't deliver it. The Big Ten is banking on expanding its footprint through national brands, which they're comfortable with what they have from what I've heard.
 
As long as the Big Ten and Pac-12 stay at 12, there's no reason for the Big 12 to go past that number, and no reason for the SEC and ACC to go past 14.
 
UConn and Rutgers are screwed.
